FTP site orginazation (draft 2)



After some discussion, the proposal is now:

ftp/pub/debian/
	stable -> dists/stable
	frozen -> dists/frozen
	unstable -> dists/unstable
	Debian-1.3 -> dists/stable	(note lack of trailing ".1")
	dists/stable -> <dist>  (symlink to current stable distribution)
	dists/frozen -> <dist>  (symlink to current frozen distribution)
	dists/unstable-><dist>  (symlink to current development distribution)
	dists/<dist>/           (actual location of distribution files)
		main/           (main distribution files)
		documents/	(auxillary documentation files [1])
		contrib/	(contributed distribution files)
		non-free/       (non free distribution files)
		non-US/         (non US distribution files)

(hope I didn't miss anything)

[1] This was proposed as an additional side-distribution where documentation
    can be placed that is not directly attached to programs within the main
    distribution.  Thus things like "emacs-doc" would stay in "main" since
    it's directly attached to emacs, but things like "bible-kjv" would move
    here.  It's also good for journals, e-mags, and any large collection of
    information documents.  This would normally be shipped right along side
    "main" on a CD, but if it gets too large, could be shipped on a separate
    CD.  Upload restrictions to this directory would also be greatly relieved
    since it can't really have any adverse effects on a system.
